Our mission on The Posting Board is to facilitate transparency, assure quality of care, and empower consumers to make informed decisions when choosing a licensed provider. Our verify Licence tool was created to be a resource and facilitate that process.
Verifying a license is essential as it confirms that the mental or behavioral health professional you are considering is certified to practice and has met the stringent educational, experiential, and examination requirements set by their respective state licensing boards. This confirmation assures that they are competent and trained to provide the specialized care necessary in their field.
States require licensing for mental health professionals to protect consumers from unqualified practitioners. Each state has specific standards and requirements for licensure, and professionals must renew their licenses periodically to ensure they remain current in their field. This requirement also ensures they are up-to-date with new research, ethical guidelines, and mental and behavioral health care best practices.
This page connects you to each state's licensing board for psychiatrists, counselors, psychologists, addiction counselors, and more. With the simple selection of your state and a click on the relevant link, you'll gain instant access to state platforms hosting detailed license records. These records provide invaluable data, such as the current status of the license, its expiration date, and any disciplinary actions taken against the licensee.
This resource also provides links for filing a complaint for suspected professional misconduct. Likewise, we've included easy navigation to the respective licensing boards' main websites for any additional information.
In closing, The Posting Board's Verify License Page is not just a resource—it's a commitment to transparency, quality, and empowerment. We strive to promote educated decisions when choosing mental and behavioral health professionals by providing easy access to license verification tools and resources. We understand the immense trust placed in these practitioners and are dedicated to ensuring that trust is well-founded. Knowledge truly is power in a field as vital and personal as mental and behavioral health. With this tool, we're putting that power in your hands.
